As a freshman at the University of Dayton in Ohio，I was eager to make a good impression on my new roommate。When I arrived at our dormitory，I found her putting on perfume。“That is a great scent”I said，making conversation。
“Thanks，it was from my boyfriend。Here，try some”she said，holding the bottle out for me。
Unfortunately she let go before I had a firm grip，and the glass shattered on the tile floor。Embarrassed，I tried to apologize，but she cut me off，“Actually，it is kind of fitting”she explained，surveying the damage。“That is exactly how the relationship went。”
理应如此
作为俄亥俄州代顿大学的一名新生，我急于给我的新宿舍同伴留个好印象。我到了寝室，看到她正在往身上洒香水。“香味真浓哇。”我说，想和她搭起话来。
“谢了――是男朋友送的，来，洒些试试。”她说着把瓶子递给我。
不幸的是，我还没抓牢，她就松手了，玻璃瓶在瓷砖地板上摔碎了。我感到很窘，我刚想道歉，她就打断了我。“事实上，应该如此。”
她解释道，查看着破碎的瓶子：“我和他的关系正是这样的。”
